If you have given consent to data processing, we process your personal data based on Article 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or Article 9 (2) lit. a GDPR, if special categories of data are processed under Article 9 (1) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent for the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing also takes place based on Article 49 (1) lit. a GDPR.

Note on Data Transfer to Third Countries that Are Not Data Protection Safe and Transfers to U.S. Companies Not Certified under the DPF
We use tools from companies located in third countries that are not data protection safe, and U.S. tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We would like to point out that in data protection unsafe third countries, no data protection level comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed.
We point out that the USA, as a safe third country, generally has a level of data protection comparable to the EU. A data transfer to the USA is therefore permitted if the recipient holds a certification under the „EU-US Data Privacy Framework“ (DPF) or has suitable additional guarantees. Information about transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business operations, we work with various external parties. In some cases, it is necessary to transfer personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally required to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis allows data transfer. When using processors, we transfer personal data of our customers only on the basis of a valid order processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, an agreement on joint processing is concluded.
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any consent already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases as Well as to Direct Marketing (Article 21 GDPR)

THE LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR RIGHTS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21 (1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING AT ANY TIME; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, TO THE EXTENT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING.
